Top 10 TV Hotties We'd Get Cable For

10 Lauren Conrad, Teen Vogue lackey on "The Hills" (MTV) She's just like any other rich California girl. So what makes Lauren Conrad so appealing to so many people? Her dramatic, loyal personality and her $100 hair may be enough. But it's her confidence that truly makes her shine, and that makes everyone able to watch her daily life and not cringe. Hey, if she loves herself, how can we hate her?

9 Padma Lakshmi, host of "Top Chef" (Bravo) Calm, cool and collected, Lakshmi exudes a distinct yet nonchalant sense of composure that contrasts perfectly with the show's stressed contestants racing around the kitchen like beheaded chickens. Between her dagger-sharp palate and vibrant beauty, it's not tough to understand what Lakshmi's ex, noted author and knight Salman Rushdie, saw in her.

8 Cisco Adler, rapper/freeloader, on "Buzzin'" (MTV) No one on The Scene staff has even seen "Buzzin'," yet a picture of Cisco Adler still hangs in The Eagle office. Why? Because Adler is that special kind of dirty-attractive that makes him, like fellow bum-chic celebs Devendra Banhart and Danny Masterson, irresistible. With his luxurious locks, ironic facial hair and dulcet voice, we'd all like to be his main squeeze.

7 Heidi Klum, host/producer of "Project Runway" (Bravo) She's an ex-Angel and the apple of Seal's eye. What more needs to be said? Her cute smile and fun personality compliment her Victoria's Secret model body, making her both loveable and enviable, as well as someone very easy on the eyes. On "Project Runway," her fashion expertise shines, making her an intelligent hottie, too. What's not to like about a smart supermodel?

6 Adrian Grenier as Vincent Chase in "Entourage" (HBO) Vincent Chase is one of the few charmers on TV who doesn't give you reason to hate him. He's everything a woman wants: tall, dark, handsome and rich. And funny. And clever. And sculpted. Thankfully, HBO has kept him that way since "Entourage's" beginning, even through his growing fame. Even if they do turn him into a cocky celebrity, it'd be hard to fall out of love with him.

5 Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement in "Flight of the Conchords" (HBO) Though they may not have the bods that the rest of this list has, they do have a cute accent. Bret and Jemaine's appeal comes from their complete lack of common American knowledge. Their pride for New Zealand and Lord of the Rings make them the kinds of guys you want to sit at home and snuggle with. After all, who doesn't love New Zealand?

4 Mary Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin in "Weeds" (Showtime) While most TV moms are attractive, Mary Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin steals the spotlight as top MILF. Throw in the fact that she's a drug dealer who sells to keep her high maintenance life after the death of her husband, and her motherly morals, and you have an interesting mix of responsibility and recklessness. Nancy Botwin's inner bad girl and innocent exterior is enough to make anyone do a double take.

3 Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse in "True Blood" (HBO) When a blonde with a southern drawl puts her mind to something, it's bound to be at least somewhat entertaining. But "True Blood's" blonde lacks the usually ditzy qualities, and HBO has thrown her amidst an unusual plot line of vampires and civil rights. Though the show itself is quite unbelievable, there's nothing fake about Anna Paquin's built bod. And standing next to vampires, she looks even better.

2 Charlie Hunnam as Jackson "Jax" Teller in " Sons of Anarchy" (FX) FX is brilliant - what better way to reel in viewers than toss a bunch of testosterone-fueled, drug dealing meatheads on hogs and call it a show? The premise is ridiculously contrived, insipid and all together ripe for exploiting Hunnam's hotness as the young ingénue and heir to the Sons' cartel. Blonde, tan and just the right kind of scruffy, this biker is one we'd love to take home to mom.

1 John Hamm as Donald Draper in "Mad Men" (AMC) Don Draper is the perfect storm of bigoted womanizing and gratuitous boozing, capable of sending bullet bras flying and pencil skirts to the floor just walking into a room. Perhaps it's his perfectly pomaded locks, square jaw and underhanded business deals (literally - see Season Two, Episode Three), or the way he calls his wife with one hand and gropes his secretary with the other. Either way, 21st century values aside, none of us would mind being his homemaker for a night or two.
